The TDR did not result in a gain recognition. As a result, a new effective interest rate was established based on the $14.4 million carrying value of the debt immediately prior to the November 2022 Convertible Notes Amendment and the future cash flows after such amendment, net of the issuance costs paid to or received from the Convertible Notes holders, which were capitalized and amortized based on the new effective interest rate.

The annual effective interest rate of Convertible Notes was estimated from 12.54% to 53.28% and 12.95% to 53.28% per year for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The loans bear interest at a rate of 12% per annum and originally matured on December 31, 2023. The original maturity date was extended to March 31, 2024, subject to the parties’ decision to extend thereafter. The Company is currently in default, as this loan will be repaid in parallel with the closing of the SPAC transaction. Accordingly, the Company classified the entire amount outstanding under the Tasly Convertible Debt as current on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Upon occurrence of certain events of default by the Company, including failure to repay in full the amounts owed at maturity, the lender will have an option to convert the entire outstanding balance and accrued but unpaid interest under the Convertible debt into senior unsecured promissory notes on substantially the same terms as the outstanding Senior Notes as of December 31, 2024. In the event the Company fails to complete the Merger, the lender will have an option to convert the entire outstanding balance and accrued but unpaid interest under the Convertible debt into either (i) senior unsecured promissory notes on substantially the same terms as the outstanding Senior Notes as of December 31, 2024 or (ii) the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $2.33 per share.

The fair value of the Convertible debt was $2.2 million as of December 31, 2024, compared to $1.71 million as of December 31, 2023.

Senior Notes 2021 August 2021 Senior Notes — In August 2021 the Company received $4.0 million in total gross proceeds from the issuance of senior unsecured promissory notes (the “August 2021 Senior Notes”). Simple interest on the unpaid principal balance of the August 2021 Senior Notes accrued from the issuance date at a rate of 12% per year and is payable at maturity. The August 2021 Senior Notes were to mature on the earlier of (a) issuance of the next round of preferred stock of (b) August 25, 2022. On December 6, 2021, the August 2021 Senior Notes were amended to provide the note holders with an option to convert the notes’ outstanding principal balance and accrued but unpaid interest into (a) the shares of convertible preferred stock issued upon consummation of a Qualified Financing at a conversion price equal to the per share price paid by investors in such Qualified Financing, subject to 20% discount, or (b) shares of the Company’s Series C convertible preferred stock at the conversion price equal to the original issue price prior to Qualified Financing in the event the Qualified Financing had not occurred prior to February 25, 2022, or (c) shares of the Company’s Series C convertible preferred stock at the conversion price equal to the original issue price upon change of control. The optional conversion upon Qualified Financing represents an embedded feature that is required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a derivative instrument initially and subsequently measured at fair value with the change in the gain (loss) on change in the fair value of derivative liabilities in the statements of operations. December 2021 Senior Notes — In December 2021 the Company received $1.3 million in total gross proceeds from the issuance of senior unsecured promissory notes (the “December 2021 Senior Notes”, together with August 2021 Senior Notes, the “2021 Senior Notes”).

During the year ended December 31, 2022 the Company issued additional Senior Notes to the existing investors for the aggregate principal amount of $5.5 million (the “2022 Senior Notes”) on substantially the same terms as the other Senior Notes issued in 2021 (as amended in December 2021).

Under this option, in the event that the Company executes a Definitive Qualified Agreement, then the Senior Note holders will have the option (but not the obligation) to convert the entire outstanding principal balance and all accrued but unpaid interest into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price equal to 40% of the per share price of the common stock as determined pursuant to the Definitive Qualified Agreement; provided, that, if such conversion price per share of the common stock is greater than $4.00, then such conversion price shall be deemed to be $4.00 per share. This 2022 amendment was accounted for as debt extinguishment resulting in $8.8 million debt extinguishment loss recognized in loss on debt extinguishment, net in the statements of operations. The optional conversion upon a Qualified Financing and Qualified conversion option represents embedded features that are required to be bifurcated and accounted for separately as a combined single derivative instrument initially and subsequently measured at fair value with the change in the gain (loss) on change in the fair value of derivative liabilities in the statements of operations. October 2022 Senior Notes — In September and October 2022, the Company issued an additional Senior Notes to existing investors with the principal amount of $1.3 million on substantially the same terms as the Senior Notes issued in 2022 (as amended in September 2022).

Since the total future undiscounted cash flows under Senior Notes were less than their outstanding principal amount and unpaid accrued interest plus fair value of the bifurcated derivative immediately before November 2022 Senior Notes Amendment, the Company recognized TDR gain of $3.98 million for the Senior Notes issued to unrelated parties in its Statement of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2022 and it recognized $3.97 million in Additional Paid-in Capital for the year ended December 31, 2022 for the Senior Notes issued to related parties.
